Summary:
This deliverable D7.2 concludes the regulatory analysis carried out throughout the Integrid project. This report was preceded by deliverables D1.3 and D7.1. While the former made a first assessment of regulation in the Integrid countries, the latter already provided an assessment of the main regulatory barriers for the solutions proposed and tested in the project. Therefore, the present deliverable builds on top of the previous work to provide a twofold analysis. Firstly, this deliverable makes a detailed assessment of what were the regulatory barriers in the five Integrid target countries - Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and Spain – for the successful implementation of the solutions proposed and demonstrated by the project. Secondly, it provides recommendations on how to overcome these regulatory barriers.
The identification of barriers and assessment of the current situation in the five Integrid target countries was also complemented by an analysis of prospective changes due to occur in the coming years. The regulation regarding the topics addressed in Integrid is changing at a fast pace. Firstly, because the objectives of project are in line with the European views of a fully-integrated internal energy market, and a digitalized power sector that puts the consumer in the centre. Secondly, because the solutions tested in Integrid can also contribute to the national decarbonization targets. In this context, besides analysing the current national regulatory frameworks exclusively, this report also takes into account the provisions brought by the Clean Energy Package for all Europeans (CEP), as well as the expectations of policy makers in the five countries, expressed in the National Climate and Energy Plans.
